Linking Touhou Hisoutensoku with SWR

Touhou Hisoutensoku is an expansion pack for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (10.5), and thus only contains character data for 9 out of the 20 characters. To get the remaining 11 characters, you must change the value of [th105path] in configex123.ini.

If you have not set this before, the line under [th105path] will read

path=

You must enter the path to your SWR installation folder. By default, it is C:\Program Files\tasofro\th105, so you should edit the config file to read as follows if you used the default folder:

path=C:\Program Files\tasofro\th105

Change the path as necessary if you installed the game to a different directory. If your folder is not named th105, it will still work.

Portable 12.3

If you want to carry Hisoutensoku and SWR on a flash drive but do not want to modify configex123.ini every time you change computers and get a different drive number, you can do the following:

Place your Hisoutensoku and SWR folders in the same directory.

Change the path to read

path=..\th105

(Again, change the folder name as necessary.)

The ".." refers to the parent directory, and corresponds to the folder one level higher than the current one, allowing you to put this on a removable disk and not need to resync 10.5 to soku if you get a different drive letter.

To remove Touhou Hisoutensoku's DirectX 9 dependency, copy d3dx9_33.dll from your own System32 folder (if you have DirectX 9 installed) and place it in the same folder as th123.exe. Alternatively, download the .dll from a third-party site, although it is possible for the DLLs to be infected with malicious code if you acquire them this way. Before putting the .dll in your game folder, check its contents with HashSum to ensure that it was not modified from its original state.

MD5 sum of the original d3dx9_33.dll file:

Formatting Saved Replays

The filepath that Hisoutensoku saves replays to is stored in the configex123.ini file in your installation folder. In that file, there should be a line in the file with the following content:

file_vs=

This line defines the file path to which replays are saved, and the name of the replay files themselves. By default, it saves the date, time, and characters used in the match. If I played versus another player and saved the replay using the default settings, the file would be saved as:

\replay\100918_1531_iku_iku.rep

Not terribly descriptive or organized, since it does not include profile names; all replays save would all be lumped together in the same folder as well, making it a giant mess to search through. By changing the value of the file_vs argument, we can define a custom method to save replays. For instance, the following format:

Utsuho Reiuji Crashing Bug

Some older computers are unable to display Utsuho's cape properly, which causes the 12.3 executable to crash when the GPU attempts to render it. To fix this problem, add the following two lines to the bottom of the configex123.ini file:

[etc]
limit=1

This will disable the cape graphics and allow Utsuho to be played normally.
